    Possible substute for Pyrite

    Rifleshooter2: If it is like the other lighter flints I've tried, they only worked for one shot. The main charge blast from the vent burnt out the flints making them useless. :( Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    The Handgonnes

    Ricky: Thanks all! The next good day, I want to take one that is a little closer of my .62 MAtchlock Arquebus, showing the loading and firing sequence. That lock was made by Albion Small Arms. Leonard Day then mated it to the stock and barrel. I specifically wanted it to be a Dutch...

    Hand Cannon on TV Last Night

    Black Dave: I turned it off after 10 minutes because I was so disgusted with that episode. They made it sound like no one shoots Handgonnes and the whole building process they did made me think :youcrazy: :barf: . All they needed to do was look here and they will find information as...

    Matchlock Lever

    PreserveFreedom: I have found it easier to use the lever compared to the trigger. The lever also gives you finer control with lowering the slowmatch to the pan. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Why do you shoot a muzzle loader?

    Lee M: The main reason for me is the history behind these early arms. Especially the first ones and when I say first ones, I mean 14th Century Handgonnes! :grin: I love'em all from the 14th Century to the 19th Century. But to me, the biggest thrill is the smell the burning slowmatch...

    The Handgonnes

    Surrealpillow: Thanks! When I talked to John Buck at the end of last month, he asked me about the size of the buttstock on the 8 bore (.83) since he was working on the stock at the time. I told him to make it wide since she is going to be shooting with 120gr Fg charges at the start...

    Danbo: Thanks for the kind words (you too Swampy)! I'm using a very small olympus camera that I got as a 15th anniversary gift at my job a few months ago. So I wasn't expecting to make some of the truly gorgeous videos that other make. I only did the videos because I haven't...
